Where I Come From: All-Time Favorite Tar Heels
This is the fourth of a week-long series of posts sponsored by EA Sports NCAA Football 2011. They're probably not getting their money's worth with this one.
Here's my dirty little secret. I don't have a favorite Carolina football player. Oh, there have been plenty I've enjoyed watching, from Kelvin Bryant to Natrone Means to Holliday, Bly, Crumpler, Curry, Peppers, Nicks and Tate. But I don't really have a favorite. The same goes for basketball, actually. I don't rank these sort of things, I just like what I see and what comes to mind at any given time.
So I'll punt on this one, and leave the field to the commenters: Who are your favorite players?

I'm with you. Don't really have a favorite.
But then again I’ve only been paying attention to Carolina football since I started going to school there last year, so I don’t have much to go on.
I've Got a Few
No particular order:
Billy Dee Greenwood. Hard working SOB at safety that just got it done. Didn’t have a ton of talent but he was smart and made plays when he had to.
Willie Parker. A good guy who was my tackling partner during my freshman year. He had issues with Bunting and Powell but I remember his debut to the world against Maryland and he had the same scoot that he showed in the NFL.
Chad Scott. Just a great guy. Good player and a real teammate.
Dexter Reid. Tackling machine. My “big brother” mentor who taught me a lot about film study and hard work.
Julius Peppers. A freakish beast. Just an absolute monster. His hand swallowed mine up when he shook hands. He’s a genuine nice guy and the stories about him are epic.
